Hey Kevin !! I was using creo parametric for a while but a few months back when I switched to fusion 360, I found it was on a whole new level in design environment making it one of the most powerful designing softwares out there. That's when I came across your channel and I want to say that you're doing such a great job helping beginners reach their potential in fusion 360 😄. Thank you...

Thank you, Harsha! I appreciate your support and glad to hear you're enjoying all of the content :)

Excellent video. Perfect speed. I was able to follow it and understand it as you were going. I was able to guess what commands you were going to use next. Yes on future surface modeling videos.

Thanks, Tony! Hope all is well with you 😃

[@nigmaxus]

Yes to surface modeling

Great video! it should be mentioning the blade tip top should be a straight line, not a spline, otherwise loft won't work. It's omitted from the video. Each line matters.

[@emanggitulah4319]

I prefer to use the mirror command at the end of the time line and only draw half of the shape. This will usually make the design more stable. Also I would make a spline just for the lower side of the blade, rather than for the whole lower knife. Thank you for sharing the video

Hi Kevin, would you consider doing a video on setting the toolpath for the handle scales? Can not find one anywhere.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hey, thanks for the video idea! Can't commit to anything at this time, but have added this to my 'CAM tutorial ideas' list. I always appreciate video topics/suggestions, so feel free to share ideas any time :)
